The IdeaPaint office was designed in 2013 by Fusion Design Consultants - an Interior Architectural design firm located in Boston, MA - who specialize in corporate, retail and hospitality interior architecture for a wide variety of businesses and organizations worldwide. The IdeaPaint workplace perfectly balances personal and communal needs, with a number of work space innovations that serve to foster both planned and spontaneous collaboration.
The 'Hello' Space
Most welcome areas are banal and inefficient usages of office space. A reception desk, a few chairs and a small table create a cold, dispassionate space that is disassociated from the greater office space. Fusion instead worked with IdeaPaint to make its 'Hello' space an opportunity to create a more approachable area that showcased the office as a live, vibrant office space. Comfortable furniture even creates a collaborative space for IdeaPaint employees.
The Power of Mobility
As a fast-moving, highly collaborative company, it was imperative for Fusion to incorporate mobility into the IdeaPaint office design. A sleek minimalist style provides a small furniture footprint within the space while minimizing the need for bulky storage units. A balance between the highly collaborative open office layout and private spaces for focus work makes IdeaPaint's office an ideal place to tackle large or small projects with any number of people.
Community Space as Collaborative Hub
IdeaPaint believes strongly in empowering communal areas 'such as hallways and company kitchens' with dry erase paint, markers and other tools to create frictionless collaboration. People's best ideas tend to come from small, informal brainstorming sessions so bolstering an area with the ability to act on and capture these conversations is critical. This is why the company worked on a flexible, integrated network of communal areas that encouraged employees to come together and generate game-changing ideas wherever inspiration strikes.
